HC Deb 24 July 1890 vol 347 cc716-7
MR. ESSLEMONT) (Aberdeen, E.

I beg to ask the Postmaster General if he can say when the acceleration of mails to Aberdeen, rendered possible by the new train arrangements, will begin, and what the saving of time will be at both Aberdeen and London in regard to posting and delivery?

* MR. RAIKES

I shall be in a position to give an answer to the hon. Member's question as soon as the communications now passing between my Department and the Treasury respecting the main route to the North are completed.
